Have you ever bailed on a "seat at the table" moment because imposter syndrome convinced you you didn't belong?

This episode is basically a reality check for that spiral. If you've ever walked into a room of bigger titles, bigger experience, bigger confidence—and immediately started listing all the reasons you're "not enough," Megan Reilly's story will feel uncomfortably familiar (in the best way). She breaks down what imposter syndrome costs you, how to stop self-eliminating, and how to stay in the game long enough to actually grow—whether you're building a company, scaling a team, or just trying to lead without burning yourself out.

• A simple way to quiet imposter syndrome when you feel outmatched—so you stay in the room and find your value instead of fleeing.

• A scrappy growth mindset you can copy (no perfect plan required): how momentum, feedback, and "green lights" can guide your next move.

• A healthier approach to scaling in real life by recognizing seasons—so you can build something meaningful without feeling like you're failing at everything else.

Press play and borrow Megan's mindset reset for imposter syndrome—so the next time you get the opportunity, you take the seat and don't look back.
